The Grammy's Finally Got it Right!

Normally I despise the Grammy's and find it quite hard to watch it. This year I decided I'd give it a shot since a lot of the bands I like are nominated and a few of them even performing. To my surprise the Grammy's actually succeeded in what they set out to do, to give the awards to the most deserving bands. Finally real incredible music is winning over Pop's one hit wonders. Congratulations to U2 for winning 5 well deserved Grammy's, it was great to see them win over the hyped up Mariah Carey (although I do give her respect considering she is one of the very few pop idols who writes their own material.) Not only did U2 come out with some awards but so did System of a Down and The White Stripes, two incredible bands that surely deserved awards over the other nominees. Not to mention the performances were pretty good, U2 with Mary J. Blige was interesting but the highlight of the night was easily Paul McCartney. Two great songs from the knight himself, one of them being the first metal song ever written "Helter Skelter." One of my personal favorites, and then he even came out later in the night while Jay-Z and Linkin Park were on to do a little rendition of "Yesterday" with them. It was also pretty nice to see Jay-Z wearing a John Lennon shirt (same one I own.) Now I hope my girlfriend realizes that I do have a good sense of style, even Jay-Z wears the same clothes as me. Classic Rock t-shirts are always in style! This just may be the first Grammy's ceremony I have ever enjoyed and watched from beginning to end.

Some Lyrics From the True Winners of the Ceremony

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.
-U2
